The goniatites you're finding are pretty swell.

Thanks Mike. Those goniatites I believe are the ancestors of those lovely ammonites you find in NM. Hope you keep sharing your finds as well.

Thanks Gordon, Deep Springs Road Quarry is usually a productive place to collect, but Monday was exceptionally fine.

Special thanks to Jeff for taking me to this very fun and awesome site. I was amazed at the abundance & diversity of fossils. I had fun working a spifter layer higher up the bank. My two favorite finds of the day were the partial Greenops trilo and the Razorshell Clam. I'm posting some pics and if you want to see more let me know and I'll post as I process but I'm sure that its all run of the mill stuff for the experienced collectors.

Thanks Tim for posting your finds. Although they are typical for Deep Springs Road Quarry, most of the Forum members aren't well acquainted with them. You, by the way, were great company and I'm really glad you did well and appreciated the site. Keep those pics coming. I may be posting more myself. That razor clam is Orthonata undulata- a fine specimen. Congrats.

I thought I'd add a few more finds from that day-

Eoschuchertella arctostriata- a Strophomenid brachiopod

Another brachiopod. I'm not sure of the genus/species, but I think it is Cyrtina.

An open bivalve shell, probably Paleoneilo filosa
